Huang Hua Condemns Soviet Union for Supporting Indian Aggression

AT the continued urgent meeting of the Security Council on the evening of December 5 to discuss the question of the tension in the Indo-Pakistan Subcontinent caused by India's armed aggression against Pakistan, Huang Hua, Permanent Representative of the People's Republic of China on the United Nations Security Council, reiterated the solemn stand of the Chinese Government on this question and took the floor several times to give stern rebuffs to the draft resolution put forward by the Soviet representative in support of India's aggression and his pack of fallacies aimed at shielding this aggression. Huang Hua's speeches exposed the Soviet Government as being the supporter, encourager and protector of India's aggression against Pakistan with the aim of gaining control over the Indo-Pakistan Subcontinent and the Indian Ocean and enlarging its sphere of influence in its contention with the other superpower for hegemony. Speaking on the "proposal" put forward' by the Soviet representative for inviting a representative of the so-called "Bangla Desh" to the meeting, Huang Hua said: "The Chinese Delegation considers that the question of the so-called 'Bangla Desh mission' raised by the Soviet Delegation is a question of substance and not a procedural matter. The Soviet and Indian representatives are singing in a duet, openly trumpeting for the dismemberment of Pakistan in a sinister attempt to impose the so-called 'Bangla Desh’ they have created upon the United Nations. This act of subverting and dismembering a sovereign country runs entirely counter to the U.N. Charter and is definitely not permissible." Huang Hua pointed out: "In order to dismember Pakistan and realize their scheme of so-called independence of East Pakistan, the Soviet representative came out with the argument based on population statistics at yesterday's meeting. This reminds one of the fact that in order to split China and engineer the so-called Taiwan independence, the representative of another superpower put forward at the meeting of the present session a similar argument that China's Taiwan Province has over 10 million population. This is indeed a coincidence! This is a true 'duet.'" Huang Hua said: "We would like to ask the distinguished representative of the Soviet Union: In I9fi2, the Soviet Government engineered a counter-revolutionary rebellion in China's Sinkiang Province, carrying out subversion and splittist activities against China. The several tens of thousands of Chinese civilians who were forcibly taken away by you under coercion still remain in your hands, and you have used some of them for anti-China scheming activities. According to Mr. Malik's logic with regard to the Pakistan refugees, are you going to take it also as a pretext for launching armed aggression against China? Are you also going to invite those people to the United Nations to justify your subversion and aggression? Wang Ming, a scum of the Chinese nation and renegade to the Communist Party of China, has all along been reared by you as a treasure and a tool for subversion against China. Are you also going to invite him to the United Nations? At present, outside your country, there exist quite a few people who oppose the Soviet Government and engineer a so-called independence movement. According to your principles, are you also going to agree to invite them to the United Nations? We hope to get a reply from the Soviet representative." Huang Hua made an explanation when he voted against the Soviet draft resolution. He said: "The Soviet draft resolution constitutes a direct interference in the internal affairs of a member state. The present armed aggression by the Indian Government against Pakistan is carried out under the connivance, support and shielding of the Soviet Union. Countless facts have proved this. "Over a long period, the Soviet Government has energetically supported India's expansion and has provided the Indian expansionists with large quantities of arms and other war materiel. It has encouraged India in its scheming activities to subvert and dismember Pakistan and has at the same time openly exerted all kinds of pressure on the Pakistan Government. Last August, the Soviet Union and India concluded a so-called treaty of peace, friendship and co-operation which is in fact a treaty of military alliance. With the encouragement of this treaty the Indian Government has become even more unbridled in carrying out expansion and aggression. Not long ago, the Indian Prime Minister visited Moscow and held talks with the Moscow leaders. It is by no means accidental that since then the Indian Government has flagrantly sent troops to invade Pakistan." Huang Hua said: "The Soviet representative Mr. Malik's performance at yesterday's meeting has made it even clearer that the Soviet Government is the supporter, encourager and protector of the Indian aggression against Pakistan. Reversing right and wrong and confounding black and white, the Soviet representative calls India which carries out armed aggression the victim and instead blames Pakistan which is subjected to aggression for the current armed conflict. The Indian representative undisguisedly declared that the Indian Government has taken the dismemberment of Pakistan and the disruption of the unity of Pakistan as its slate policy, and openly slandered the representative of Pakistan as representing only West Pakistan. The Soviet representative has also done his utmost to defend the Indian aggressive acts of subverting the Pakistan Government and disrupting the national unity of Pakistan. In the draft resolution he put forward yesterday, the Soviet representative went to the length of attacking Pakistan for causing the deterioration of the situation, and to assert that only after the so-called political resolution of the question of East Pakistan could the acts of hostility cease. In other words, so long as the Pakistan Government refuses to agree to the 'independence' of East Pakistan, the Indian Government has the right to continue its subversion and aggression against Pakistan. This echoes the open clamour of the Indian leaders that the Indian troops and armed personnel must not be withdrawn from East Pakistan and their demand that Pakistan troops withdraw from their own territory East Pakistan and that a so-called 'Bangla Desh' be established. This is a naked revelation of the role played by Soviet social-imperialism in India's armed aggression against Pakistan. "To put it bluntly, in supporting India to provoke an armed conflict with Pakistan, the purpose of the Soviet Government is to take advantage of India's inevitable dependence on the Soviet Union in the war to control the Indo-Pakistan Subcontinent and the Indian Ocean and expand its sphere of influence so as to contend with another superpower for world hegemony. This is exactly the same tactics it has used on the Middle East question." He further pointed out: "The Soviet social-imperialists are carrying out aggression, interference, subversion and expansion everywhere. Everyone will recall the Soviet military aggression and armed occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1968. Everyone will equally recall that the Soviet Government plotted to subvert the legal government of an African country this year, grossly interfering in the internal affairs of that country. There are too many similar instances to be enumerated. The present acts of the Soviet Government in the Indo-Pakistan Subcontinent are exactly the extension and continuation of that policy. No matter how hard the Soviet representative may justify himself, he cannot write off the facts. The present Soviet Government is out-and-out social-imperialism. No matter how Mr. Malik dislikes it, the label is on and cannot be taken off." Huang Hua said: "Betraying the fundamental interests of the Indian people and serving the wild designs of the Soviet Government for controlling the Subcontinent and the Indian Ocean, the Indian Government will only eat the bitter fruits of its own making. Soviet social-imperialism which supports and connives at Indian aggression and expansion will come to no good end either." Huang Hua also rebuffed the virulent invectives hurled at China's revolutionary foreign policy by the Soviet representative Malik. Huang Hua said: "My statements have hit Mr. Malik's tender spot. That is why he made such a very preposterous and slanderous speech. But the revolutionary foreign policy of great China can be in no way distorted by a petty Mr. Malik. Mr. Malik mentioned the outstanding contributions made by the Soviet people in the October Revolution and the Second World War. The Chinese Government and the Chinese people hold in high esteem the great contributions made by the great Soviet people in the October Revolution and the Second World War. But the blood of both the martyrs in the October Revolution and the Soviet martyrs in the Second World War cannot wash out the crimes committed by the Soviet renegades. The glory of the Soviet people in history does not add the slightest splendour to the faces of the renegades. This we can clearly see only by drawing a comparison between the revolutionary foreign policy of the Soviet Union in the past and the social-imperialist policy being pursued by the Soviet Government today. "Mr. Malik made reference to the Czechoslovak incident. He even 'regretted' that China did not take part in that act of aggression by social-imperialism. This is day-dreaming. The Chinese people, the Chinese Government and the Communist Party of China have long sternly condemned the aggressive act of the Soviet Government against the Czechoslovak people. You were not rendering 'aid' to a socialist country. Like gangsters, you stealthily moved troops into Czechoslovakia deep in the night, landed air force and paratroopers at the Prague airport and controlled the city. You abducted some of the then Czechoslovak leaders to Moscow and forced them to accept your humiliating conditions in betrayal of the Czechoslovak people. This fully demonstrates the essence of 'lending a friendly hand' so claimed by you social-imperialism. "The Soviet representative had better read over today's TASS statement. The Soviet Government has fixed its security borders on the Indo-Pakistan Subcontinent and the Indian Ocean. You say that the incident of Indo-Pakistan Subcontinent directly involves the interests of security of the Soviet Union. This theory of yours is completely identical with the 'security borders' or security interests which the Israeli government tries to impose on the Arab countries." Huang Hua said: "On the Middle East question, you submitted a proposal for cease-fire and troop withdrawal to the U.N. after the outbreak of the Israeli aggressive war in 1967. Why do you refuse to apply the same principle to the Indo-Pakistan Subcontinent today? This has totally exposed your ambition for aggression and expansion in the Indo-Pakistan Subcontinent. You intend to use delaying tactics to co-ordinate with the military action of the Indian aggression against Pakistan in a vain attempt to change the military situation of Pakistan in a short period. As certain Indian leaders said, they considered that the Indian military action against Pakistan could be completed in a short period. Immediately after the opening of the meeting, you put forward a demand to invite a so-called 'representative of Bangla Desh' to the meeting of the Security Council, and repeatedly used it to prevent the progress of the meeting. And then you put forth the sinister draft resolution. In one word, in close co-ordination with the Indian expansionists, you have tried every possible means to realize your ambition to dismember Pakistan and control the Indo-Pakistan Subcontinent. Otherwise, why did you successively veto two draft resolutions which include provisions for cease-fire and withdrawal of forces?"
